Man's dwelling place - short story - Latin America: Private Eyes & Time Travelers

Literary Review, Fall, 1994 by Angelica Gorodischer, Alberto Manguel

WE ENTERED THE CITY at 8:30 A.M. local time. I must bring to Your Lordship's attention the fact that the members of the crew under my command seemed uneasy, almost frightened. At the time I attributed their condition to the peace and quiet--I don't think I was mistaken. It was a clear day, the weather was mild, and the sun, the breeze and the grasshoppers made us think of a fairly advanced spring.
